We report here our observations on parturition and infant development up to five months in a captive sifaka, Propithecus verreauxi coquereli. Comparisons are made with other reports of Propithecus. In describing the acquisition of developmental landmarks, a distinction is made between the first sighting of a behavior pattern and its regular occurrence in the infant's repertoire. We describe the development of locomotor abilities, grooming, feeding, play, and social interactions. In general, maturation of Propithecus is slow relative to species of the genus Lemur.
我们在此报告对圈养的科氏维氏冕狐猴（Propithecus verreauxi coquereli）分娩及五个月大之前婴儿发育情况的观察。并与其他关于冕狐猴的报告进行了比较。在描述发育里程碑的获得时，区分了行为模式的首次出现及其在婴儿行为库中的常规出现。我们描述了运动能力、梳理毛发、进食、玩耍和社交互动的发展。总体而言，相对于狐猴属的物种，冕狐猴的成熟较为缓慢。
